4.3.1 Displaying Messages
The following subtopics explain how to display messages when they are sent
to you and how you go about sending messages to other users.
When MSG PENDING appears on the panel, go to the Online Monitoring
panel and enter 2. This will display system and user messages that have been
sent to your userid. After you display the messages, they are deleted.
Undisplayed messages are deleted at autoscan if they are more than two hours
old (unless the MSGHOLD generation option on the CAIJGEN macro was
changed).
This is a sample display:
SCHD-CP SCHEDULER COMMAND PROCESSOR CA-SCHEDULER
===> MASTER - WR
CONNECT : 4
MESSAGE FOR JOB=JOB5 IN SCHEDULE=ARDAILY AT STATION=4
CACM4 JCL IS NOT IN READER QUEUE
PF1=HELP
4.3.2 Sending Messages
Messages that have been sent to the Unicenter CA-Scheduler mailbox can be
viewed through the Reporting Facility panel.
Now that you know how to receive messages, you will learn how you can
send them to others.
To send messages to another userid, go to the Online Monitoring panel and
enter 3, followed by the following two keywords:
User=
Text=
Name the user who is to receive the message (1- to 8-character
defined userid). To send the message to all defined users, specify
USER=ALL. To send a message to the master console, specify
USER=OPERATOR.
Give the text of the message (no more than 64 characters). Enclose
the message in single quotes if it contains blanks, commas, or other
delimiters.
For example, you could send the following valid message:
3,U=JOHN,T='PLEASE MOUNT THAT TAPE NOW'
